WALLA WALLA, Wash. — Eastern Connecticut State senior Steve Cammuso delivered his ninth career home run in the top of the 10th inning to break a tie at Borleske Stadium.

The ninth-ranked Warriors endured temperatures in the mid-30s during a game stopped several times because of snow and hail to improve to 4-0 this season.

Cammuso’s career homer total is greater than the combined career numbers of his 2012 teammates.
